Undergraduate spring 2019 transfer students who enroll in Summer Term 2019 automatically receive an award. All spring 2019 transfer students are eligible to receive the award, but must maintain satisfactory academic progress. Sound too good to be true? It’s not. In a 2015 survey, your peers said they were interested in taking advantage of Summer Term but weren’t able to enroll because they lacked funds for tuition. We’re piloting the UW–Madison Transfer Scholars Summer Award as part of our commitment to helping students reduce their time to degree and debt burden.

Summer Transfer Employment Program

Designed for Fall 2018 or Spring 2019 transfer students, the Summer Transfer Employment Program (STEP) provides an opportunity for transfer students to strengthen their UW-Madison connections while working on campus this summer. STEP applicants have guaranteed part-time employment opportunities with employers such as the Unions, UW Athletics, DoIT and more. Applications will open in spring 2019.

Students who pay the resident or Minnesota tuition rates will receive up to $500 toward the cost of Summer 2019 resident tuition and fees. Students who pay nonresident or international tuition rates will receive up to $1,000 toward the cost of Summer 2019 nonresident tuition and fees.

No. If you enroll in summer courses at UW–Madison, the award will automatically be applied to your summer tuition charges. Once financial aid is disbursed in May, you can log into your Student Center and access your Tuition Account Summary. There you will see this scholarship listed as DCS Transfer Summer School under pending/anticipated financial aid. By late May, the Bursar’s Office will apply the award to your summer tuition balance.
